This is bad news for the modern hi tech coils on today's market. Makes me wonder what the difference is between coils made today compared to the 90 year old originals?

This is an original slant pole coil used for 28-29 Model A. It came off a rusty chassis I bought out of a neighbor's barn where it had lived for at least the last 60 or 70 years sitting idle. I painted it and put it on a car and ran it for a year. Car always started and ran well, but I took it off in favor of a newer 6V coil for fear it would fail out on the road. I think I will put it back on the car and not worry about it.
